EDITOR COLWELL, OF
Iiewepnpee edi+ors are almost as
%optical as the average physician on
the subject of new remedies for sick
people. Nothing short of a series of
most remarkable and well authenti-
cated onres will incline either an
editor or a doctor +0 seriously consider
the merits honestly claimed for a
medicine.
Hundreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great South American Nervine Tonic
were received from men and women
ell over the country Lettere physicians
began to prescribe this groat remedy
in chrouio cases of dyspepsia, in-
digestion, nommen prostration, sick
headache, and au a tonic for build-
ing up systems sapped of vitality
through protracted spells of sick-
DeMs.
During his experience of. nearly a
quarter of a century as a newspaper
publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col-
well, of The Paris Review, hue pub-
lished hundreds of columns of paid
medicine advertisements, and, no
doubt, printed many a gracefully -
worded puff for his patrons as a
matter of business, but in only a
single instance, and that one warrant-
ed by his own pe"sotlal experience,
has he given a testimonial over his
own signature. No other remedy
ever offered the public has proved
such a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the South American
Nervine Tonic. It has never failed
in its purpose, and it has cured when

me, and I tried a number of medie.

took relieved me. I improved rapidly
and grew stronger every day, Your

The South American Nervine
Tonic rebuilds the life forces by its
direct action on the nerves and the
acme centres, and it is this notable
feature which distinguishes it from
every other remedy in existence.. The
most eminent medical authorities now
concedethat fully two-thirds of all the
physical ailments of humanity arise
from exhaustion of the nerve forces.
